Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.75 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 24 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup sour cream

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Mix graham cracker crumbs and melted butter until combined. Press mixture firmly into the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan.
  • In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract and sour cream until just combined.
  • Pour batter over the crust in the pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until the center is almost set but still slightly jiggly. Turn off oven and let cheesecake sit in oven for 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes

For best results, allow the cheesecake to come to room temperature for 20 minutes before slicing.
